Landlords are such a diverse group of people that it’s almost impossible to reach them to communicate rules and regulations, according to a new report. The report, ‘Who are the individual landlords providing private rented accommodation?’ was written by industry expert Kate Faulkner, of Designs on Property, with the support of the TDS Charitable Foundation, which works to advance education about housing rights and obligations.

Over the last few months I’ve been getting increasingly frustrated at the inaccurate statistics being used in the media on housing. Yes I know, that’s always the way, but in my view what worries me is the impact this has on people’s housing decisions.

The Housing Bill proposes some pretty extreme changes for the housing market and whilst some are quite good, many are being very heavily criticised. With the Conservatives holding only a tiny majority and the Lords flexing its muscles in this parliament over Bills - a prime example being the tax credits defeat last year - quite frankly, anything could happen before the Bill is passed.
